About Engraved Bowl With Black and Teal

As an artist, Loren Kaplan has been celebrated internationally for her distinctively beautiful contemporary ceramic art. The Canadian artist’s series of small ceramic bowls are hand engraved in both floral and traditional South African motifs inspired by her homeland. This piece features a black-on-white floral detail and a glazed deep teal interior.

“I make vessels because containers are about potential. My focus is on the space-in-between; defined spaces of emptiness making room for something to be held.”
